Greetings all! I have CFS and with it, the depression that comes along. I hate anti-depressants, and although I have to take them from time to time, I am trying to find other alternatives. I have been reading about Sam-e, however the dosage that I need to take for serious depression would be 1600 -- in Canada this is about 340+ dollars a month, if I can even get it (it is technically not available in Canada)!!! However, TMG is easily available and inexpensive. I am trying to figure out how much TMG is required to approx 1600 mg of Sam-e. How much do other users take who had had benefits with TMG, from the Sam-e derived from it? I am trying 10 grams a day right now of TMG, since I know that CFS patients also have elevated levels of Homocysteine in their cerebrospinal fluid. I haven't read any bad effects from taking large doses of TMG and it seems to give me energy. However, I have no idea if I am taking enough for the Sam-e effect.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!!!
Thank you
Russ
